I don't like or trust Erdogan the Islamist.

That said, I think this would be a good change of direction. Back away of where Erdogan is taking Turkey. Back away of continued abuse of the Syrian Kurds.

Make his oil pipeline with Russian help work.

Stop beating the Neo Ottoman Empire Drum.

Unfortunately, he may do that for a while. But he is never to be trusted long. He wants power so badly, nothing else matters to him. Very bad prescription for Turkey and the Middle East.

Lets all "try" to prove it possible to make peace (at least temporary) in the Middle East.

The two nations over there that need regime change the most are Turkey and Iran. Given that, the world would be a much different - and better - place.

Then the Norks would be the last one to fix.

Arm the Kurds.

If the theory of “if they’re fighting over there then they’re not attacking us here” is true, then the saved some American lives, even if it was incidental to their efforts.

Turkey’s leader is scum.

Will US-Kurdish deal force Turkey back to PKK negotiation table?

Erdogan and his Islamist-Political construct is the problem.

Ataturk proved that Turks could get along and be productive, but their desire for Eighth Century Islam and the seat of the modern Ottoman Empire must be completely destroyed.
